The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students in Kansan; to go further than merely printing dead books; to be more creative in University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be courteous; to be generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser hearts and all, to serve the university as all the ability of the University.

SMALL THEATRES AND THE MOVIES
In converting the Bowersock theatre into a combination photoplay and legitimate drama house the management has struck up a happy scheme which has given Lawrence the best from the film studios and a higher quality of spoken drama than ever before. The theatre in the small town which seeks to produce only the spoken drama is confronted by a big financial problem. It is impossible to find an audience every night for good plays and to make money the management is forced to produce a lot of cheap plays or lose money.
The motion picture drama, however, has furnished an ideal means of combating this situation. By turning his theatre into a movie house five nights a week the wise manager can stage Guy Bates Post in "Omar The Tentmaker" on the sixth and make more money than he did when he shove! cheap plays four nights a week and keep a dark house the other two. Students in the University have been offered some of the best drama on the American stage this year and little or no trash. The movie has made it possible for us to see Forbes-Robertson in "Hamlet," Mabel Taliertoon in "The New Henrietta," Macklyn Arbuckle, Wm. H. Crane, Thomas W. Ross, and others.
A Topeka woman has an alligator which stands on its hind legs and sings like a frog, according to the Capital, and because the beast sings at night she has given it to a zoo. Talk about your intellectual pups—the Capital gets the dog.
THE MAY FETE
The May Fete this year is to be the finest ever given by the University. It is to be a spectacle worthy of any institution. Critics say that it will equal the great productions staged at Bryn Mawr and Wellesley. It is the best advertisement that a school could possibly have. Yet how many visitors from outside Lawrence will see the Fete? Not many. Why? Because they don't know what it is, or because they were not invited. Next year every student ought to invite at least five people to the May Fete and he should see to it that they come. A crowd from over the state would be worth untold money to the University.
GOSSIP MONGERS
Faculty men who repeat gossip about students. on hearsay evidence should be classed with other gossips. They are no better than scandal-mongering old women and may ruin lives. The man who repeats gossip is not only unfair to himself but does a damage which he cannot repair. Gossip has been repeated this year, which is without fact or foundation and the student injured had has to stand quietly by and bear the consequences. There should be a sense of fairness, a gentlemanly breeding, among the faculty men of the University that would render such a case impossible.
The registrar has sent out letters calling attention of organization treasurers to the rule which demands that they make a written report of finances each year. It will be interesting to note what attention will be given to the communication, which is enclosed in rather definite language. However the rule has been virtually a deadletter, so far as accomplishing any definite check on student finances.
Now That-
Billy Sunday has gone we cannot but wonder what the department of physical education thinks of his brand of gymnastics.
Quizzes are only three weeks away many new faces are appearing in many classes.
The Laws, Engineers and Pharmines have all celebrated their days freshmen are beginning to want to know what's the matter with the College? Students are to be here only a short time longer the bill collectors are starting to make calls at meal time.
The Deans of Women's Convention is finished mid-week dates have started up again.
The campus has all the waste paper that it can carry we suggest that the University authorities get those waste paper containers.

Feodor Mikaylovitch Dostoevski, one of the most famous of that great group of Russian writers who produced some of the world's best literature, was born in St. Petersburg at the last stage of his school life, and finished it in fact, as a military engineer. Born in Moscow in 1821, the son of a surgeon in poor circumstances, Dostoevski had ambitions to become a great engineer but he dropped out of school in 1843 and went on to work in which brought him fame and some money. Soon after this he allied himself with one of the Russian radical parties and was sentenced to a life of hard labor in Siberia. Although warded for pardon, he bitterly resented left, ineffacable marks on his spirit which showed in his greatest work, "Crime and Punishment," which appeared in 1866. The following extract is taken from "The Thief," one of his most famous short stories, "The Judge." He guarded and showed the effect that Vodka had upon the Russian people.
"His face was bluish and his hair was full of mud as if he had slept in the street; and he had grown thin, the poor hooded had hat, and I comfort him in every way. Well, I said to him, have you had anything to eat?"
"I doubt it. Well, here is some ice cabbage soup with some meat in t—not the meagre kind. And here have some bread and a little onion."
The drunkard, however, grew worse and the story continues:
"He lay dying before me. I sat on the window with some work I had on hand lying on my lap. The old woman was raking the stove. We were all silent and my heart was breaking over this poor shiftless creature, as if he were my own son whom I was losing."
Bartlettus De Spinoza (1632-1677) a Cartesian philosopher, was born at Amsterdam, Holland. He belonged to a Jewish family but was later excommunicated on account of his heretical views. His livelihood was earnest and he devoted his life to philosophy. The works published by Spinoza are: Ethica, De Intellectus Emendatione, and Tractatus Politicus. Translations have been written by William B. White (1883), Caird (1888), Pollack (1880), and Duff (1903).
PEOPLE YOU HAVE HEARD OF
The泵mozoxian system is essentially a development of the Cartesian, the most conspicuous feature of which is the thinking and extending a substance. His leading idea is that in becoming conscious of the unity of all things, we rise above the bondage of the passions and desires which belong to our future.
Perfect being is substance. Nothing exists except infinite substance accompanied by infinite attributes which constitute it. Each in its own degree manifests the supreme reality which is God. The universe is the infinite expansion and the divided expansion. Body and soul are two modes of the substance one the attribute of expansion, the other the thought. The human soul is the idea of the soul. That thought is the object. Free will is an illusion; would disappear if it were possible to trace back the line of causes.
His teachings are;

JOURNEY'S LAMENT
The opinion of the women of the University has been shown, by the letters published in the Kansan, to be universally against it. The reason for four women who would not walk down the street with a man who was smoking.

Apples, nuts and apricots.

Pears and peaches, luscious melons,
Oh, just lots and lots!
As to personal rights, they are well and good as long as they don't interfere with those of other people. But when one is complying with the laws of disguising odor and an unpleasant smoke in his face, his rights are being violated as clearly as those of the smoker who is asked to refrain from smoking on the cam-

In answer to last night's communication, allow me to say that "those sporadic outbursts of righteousness which come to it (the University) about a year," are necessary to prevent the school from becoming fossilized. Are not the radicals and extremists needed in every movement, in every cause which comes before public notice?

In answer to "Senior" I would like to say that the managers of the Jayawaker this year took a marked step in advancement in departing from the old arrangement of fraternities. I beg to disagree with "Senior" in my views, inasmuch as I included without rhyme or reason." They are arranged alphabetically, a custom followed by many of the largest University annuals, which is also better reference. According to the opinion of many of the seniors, the arrangement of this year's Jayawaker far superior to that used in the past.
CAMPUS OPINION
Another Senior.
Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but name will not be published.
Editor Daily Kansan:
It is, of course, to be expected that all students will not be pleased by any quiz schedule which could be made and probably been made and probably always will be. But the chorus of groans which went up a few days ago when the Senate announced the quiz schedule were used as us to be more than usually justified.
Editor Daily Kansan:
It may be necessary (but the fact will have to be proved to many) that quizzes in the two most popular hours in the students' schedule should be scheduled for the day. Whatever the reasons, we can only hope that some good angel of Providence will hasten to our rescue and remove one of them before the fatal day of Friday, the sixth. We, who are always carefully placing our hardest hours at 8:30 and 1:30, when we expected to be freshest for mental endeavor and because we hoped thereby to utilize two hours which were otherwise in danger of being wasted — we, I say, should keep a leisure to re-arrange our rush decision.
If the earnest wish of the student body as a whole can suffice to move the hearts of the powers that she be, then revised schedule before quiz week.
keenly interested in the work of the great Evangelist. Many and various parodies on the -song have also been originated, and the catchy tune is upon the lips of many as they hurry across the campus.
What would Mr. Sunday say if he
what of these paradoxes, and what if
he knew.
That the war has practically stamped out sports in England even in the colleges, is the statement made by George B. Bainbridge, an eminent English sportsman. Football, which was by far the most popular game before the war, is now restricted to schoolboys, and the biggest hit was given up. Lawn tennis has also ceased to exist. Golf is the only game that has not been seriously affected, but is played chiefly by old enthusiasts.
An interesting feature of the summer session at Dartmouth this year will be a course in drama and pageantry. A series of lectures will be given in connection with it by such illustrious men as Clayton Hamilton, Percy Mackaye and Leo Wilson Dood of Smith College.
If K. U. is in sympathy with Mr. Sunday and the great work he is doing, such actions should be discouraged and suppressed. If this is true, I will express the adverse, "I don't care attitude that is being taken.
The senior class at Princeton University has devised a means for raising an alumni memorial fund by taking out insurance policies in favor of the alumni. The funds grow from four to fifteen dollars a year bringing in a return of $100 to $400 each. The policies are to be held by a large insurance company and the entire principle will be paid to Princeton University after twenty-five years.
At the University of Oregon a novel plan has been adopted to construct bungalows and a cafeteria for the use of students. The idea of the plan is to reduce the yearly expenses of students to $225 or less.
The University of Wisconsin has appropriated funds for a new boat and bath house on Lake Mendota. The work is being completed and the work is to begin at once.
